RECEPTIVITY

Receptivity - the power to receive the Divine Force and to feel its presence and the presence of the Mother in it and allow it to work, guiding one's sight and will and action.
SRI AUROBINDO

The help is always there. It is you who must keep your receptivity living. The Divine Help is much vaster than what any human being is able to receive.
THE MOTHER
